My grandma always used to give me a slice of cucumber to rub on my face every time she made a salad - lol - she used to say "come and make yourself beautiful ducks" and I'd rub the cucumber all over my face!!! What a very wise lady!!!

This is so cool! Today as my husband and I were eating cucumbers grown in our backyard. We were talking about how yummy and refreshing they are. It's hot here in florida, so the cucumbers hit the spot! We grow bananas, coconuts, and now delicious cucumbers! Who knew they were so good for you? 🙂😁😎Thanks Dr. Livingood!

I also love cucumber water! I just wash my cucumbers and then oral it and even out the peals in a jar and all the cucumbers after I slice them and let it sit in the water in the fridge for a while and I drink it. After it is empty I just refill it. It lasts in the fridge for several days!!!! Jesus is Amazing! He gives us what we need !!!

Try cutting it in half place in freezer and in the morning apply to your face and whalla glows everywhere within 5 days, and I do drink it a cup day keeps me hydrated thru out the day, less water 💧 to drink, one cucumber is all you need or at least half of one to consume a day, drinking or eating both very benefíciala for Ones own body

I started drinking cucumber juice a while back first thing in the morning.it tastes refreshing and wakes me up because I can’t drink caffeine. After a month without changing anything else, I noticed my blood pressure was lower at that time too.

I love cucumbers. I didn't know they were so good for me. I love ACV as well. Thanks for all the good info you are sharing. I've lost 10 pounds so far (one month} drinking ACV with just a little bit of unsweetened cranberry juice.

I started breaking into a cold sweat and I grabbed a cucumber and I started googling it the benefits and look what I find here.

You missed the most useful one. This one is a marathon runner's secret. A half a cup of pickle juice will get rid of muscle cramps almost immediately!. I personally can attest to it's effectiveness. I sometimes get morning cramps in my thighs. My brother who is a runner told me about this and it works so well that I have jars of dill pickles in the frig and in my van in case of cramps when hiking.

[flovrankovic]

we're curious if you peel the cucumber and if you do, will nutrients be reduced?

[kaybridgman]

I love them in my greens with celery and blueberries ❤ delish
